Stankonia by Outkast

Let me raise my hand timidly and say that I am not familiar with pure, unadulterated hip-hop music they say Outkast is perfect at. But I love Ms Jackson, which I think has a hook this side of being fatal. “I’m sorry Miz Jackson (OOH!) I am fer real…” now that’s a great tune.

But the rest of Stankonia soon blends in a dull, monotonous concoction of throbbing funk beats and uh huh, uh huh, you motherfucking fucks, I steal your hos self-exaggerating mantras. I think the spoken intros are pretty amusing and I also love Humble Mumble, which has the divine Erykah Badu guesting in vocal duties.
